Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 6920s is a bit big for a Liner 770/780 ?? Hasn't he got any smaller horses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Powerstar: He had a TS115 and CS110 drawing, and he may still have a 6520 (his only loader tractor). When I saw them in action last year he had a 6920S and the 6520 doing the raking. Nashmach: He kept an old-style 924 reverse drive for the mowing, and replaced this in 2003 with a new-style 926 reverse drive. He also has an 818, bought late in 2004 (prolly to wind up the JQ dealer as he bought a dose of 6820s and 6920S's since then). Here's a rake I spotted on my way home this evening. I don't know whose it is because there is a different contractor on this farm every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whose it is because there is a different contractor on this farm every year. I head he had gone away from Fendts alright - thought he went on a spending spree of New Hollands for a while but obviously he is back with JQ's again. The fella with a different contractor every year reminds me of a man near us - he fooled every contractor within a 15 mile radius over the number of acres he got cut every year and now the only way he gets his silage cut is a contractor that's 25 miles away and related to him has to come down to do it. Will always remember when I was young one of the contractors had all Internationals drawing including a 1055 with a 1255 engine what a beast and a another contractor had a fleet of Zetor Crystals - you would always know when he was around - trails of oil along the road and usually one tractor broken down some where on the road. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 i'd say 6465 6470's are alot more popular as better power to weight ratio etc thats my thinking and the fact has 4cyl engine which means better for livestock applications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
